Jodi Sanguin ran like the wind . . . and wrapped up a second straight conference cross-country running title on Saturday afternoon. Sanguin, a fifth-year athlete with the Red Deer College Queens, ran away from the competition at Calgary’s Canmore Park, claiming the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference’s (ACAC) individual women’s cross-country crown with more than half a minute to spare. Sanguin finished the five-kilometre course in 19 minutes and 16 seconds, a full 40 seconds faster than the second-place Marriya Jenkins of the Concordia. Sanguin also led RDC to victory in the ACAC women’s team championship and was named on the All-Conference Women's Team. 

Jodi is a fifth year student taking her Bachelor of Science program in Nursing at Red Deer College. 

Congratulations Jodi for such a gold medal performance and being named Athlete of the Week!
